[R] write.table

[Simon Pickett]

Hi Laura,

You need to specify where you want to write your table. Like this...

write.table(result, file="C:/Documents and 
Settings/simonp/Desktop/result.csv", sep = ",",row.names = F)

If you have to do this alot I think you can set your working drive up to 
always write table in the same place...

setwd("C:/Documents and Settings/simonp/Desktop/")

If you wanna get really smart you can download a pckage called RDCOMClient 
from the omegahat repository. This enables you to open tables and view them 
on screen using excel (amongst a plethora of other things)

Hope this helps?

S
